Special court issues non-bailable warrant against Nirav Modi

A special court in Mumbai has issued a non-bailable warrant against diamantaire Nirav Modi and his family members in the over Rs 13,000 crore PNB scam case, after taking cognizance of a charge sheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate last month.

The ED had last week moved the special court, seeking warrants against the accused.

The non-bailable warrants were issued by Special Prevention of Money Laundering Act judge Salman Azmee against Nirav Modi and 10 others, including his family members.

The ED had last month filed a 12,000-page chargesheet in the multi-crore Punjab National Bank cheating and fraud case against Nirav Modi and 23 others.
